Setting up planes

01-14-2010, 06:52 PM

Hello, I'm a bit new here, and I've been playing around with the editor for a bit.
One thing I couldn't figure out was how to get the AI planes to fly, I give them a waypoint, and they just drive there. Any help or advice would be helpful, thanks.

Set the waypoint far enough away from the runway and it should take off. I assume that the waypoint is pretty close to the runway, and thus might cause confusion for the AI if to fly or taxi to the spot?

I put AI in a plane on the taxiway, and at the start of the mission, the planes will start up, and taxi toward the runway, took off, and circled the runway. It was quite odd. No waypoints, all planes in formation (no single leader).
